garbage disposal with septic

My head is about ready to explode because of conflicting notions about having a garbage disposal with a septic system.

I'm doing a minor re-vamp of my kitchen (new cabinets, countertops, and sink) and would like to install a garbage disposal. Some folk say it's okay to use a disposal with a septic, some not.

In 20 years, I've never had a problem with this system. In fact, the last time I had the septic cleaned (about 10 years ago), the mechanic stated that the septic really didn't need a cleaning (love this guy for his honesty).

So, what are your thoughts?
